Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

Today, parents are increasingly allowing their children to use tablets and smartphones at younger ages. In fact, nine in ten 6-12-year-olds in the US have access to tablets or smartphones, and two out of three use tablets or smartphones on a daily basis. But parents often have questions and concerns about how their kids use them and which apps are appropriate. Whether it’s using video chat to talk to grandparents, staying in touch with cousins who live far away, or sending mom a decorated photo while she’s working late to say hi, parents want safe messaging options that are also fun for kids to use. Messenger Kids, which launched this month in the US on the App Store, is the latest solution to answering these parent’s needs.

Option 3: "Parents allow their children to use tablets at younger age."

Explanation: The text clearly states that parents are increasingly allowing their children to use tablets and smartphones at younger ages, making this option correct. It aligns with the main idea of the text regarding the trend of younger children using these devices.

Option 1: "Parents are least concerned about their children using tablets."

Explanation: This option contradicts the text, which states that parents have questions and concerns about how their kids use tablets and which apps are appropriate. Therefore, it is incorrect to say they are least concerned.

Option 2: "Children often use tablets to play different games."

Explanation: While the text mentions that children use tablets and smartphones, it does not specifically state that they use them to play games. This makes the statement too broad and not directly supported by the text.

Option 4: "Parents do not want any safe messaging applications for their children."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text indicates that parents want safe messaging options for their children. It directly contradicts the information provided in the text.
